Seeking BSD or Linux Posters?
chadpnet asks: "While making the move from cubicle life to an office I have noticed that my walls are very bare. I went searching for BSD and Linux posters but couldn't find any. IS there not production of these posters or am I looking in the wrong place?"
As good as it gets.
I'm cheap, so I usually hang up some of the funnier ads from the linux mags. "Hello Mr. Gates, I'll be your server today!" from Penguin Computing is pretty cool. The Sun one is kind of neat too, "What Windows has done for your network, the Sun LX50 undoes". Heh.
Weeping Jesus on the cross, dude. Go to any shopping mall and find one of those stores that sells posters and paintings. Find a nice landscape that you like. Buy it for a few bucks and hang it on your wall.
It is not necessary for you to eat, sleep, breathe, and stare at computer shit all day long. In your place of work, surround yourself with things unrelated to work. In my office, I used to have a framed 24" x 36" print of a vintage poster from the Egyptian board of tourism, in French. It was great; exotic and soothing at the same time. Whenever I wanted, I could glance up from my monitor and see something completely unrelated to computers in any way. It was like a thirty second micro-vacation. Only thing that kept me sane during the dark days as the company-- a software startup-- was spiraling down the drain.

The FSF sells a poster of the preamble of the GPL: https://agia.fsf.org/#posters
